The bus is equipped with sensors and automatic systems, with which the bus itself understands where to stop on the road, and where to continue, when the door opens and closes, even how to change the temperature inside the bus according to the weather, this bus itself will do it automatically!
The bus will end its journey from Singapore's Pioneer Rail Station via Cleantech Park to NTU.
The new driverless buses will also have a charging facility at the bus depot. Earlier in 2013, the university launched a driverless electric shuttle on the same route.

Due to which the road safety will increase, as well as pollution will be reduced and mistakes made by people will also be less likely.
